The origin of the phrase "It's all good" (Billie Holiday


l p

Recommended Posts

Why does this make you think that Billie (or Pres) originated the phrase? Was it not in use before then?

The way that the phrase is used sometimes used today puts the emphasis on all: it's all good. Billie seemed to be putting the stress on good, i.e. she was happy with everything that the band was doing, but just slipped herself.
